TuxFamily.org is a French organization that promote the free software philosophy by providing services and systems to diffuse free contents : source codes, documentations, whatever...

TuxFamily is using a home made panel dedicated to mass hosting : VHFFS

Some history

TuxFamily was created in 1999 by Julien Ducros. First, TuxFamily was a small structure to host some friend's projects. After a while, TuxFamily become a free hosting platform to host any free software related project. In December 2001, TuxFamily became an official French organization to have a legal status to protect the platform and administrators but also to collect donations to by new hardware. This radical change in TuxFamily, helps it to provide a better quality service and host more and more project, becoming bigger and bigger. TuxFamily slowly become a well known organization in the French open source scene.

Until January 2004, TuxFamily was an important actor in the free software development in France. During those few years, more than 6000 peoples joined the TuxFamily planet to present more than 1000 open source projects. The main goal of TuxFamily was to provide a point of presence on the internet for free project. Several services were proposed to hosted people : Web sites, DNS, CVS, SVN, IRC, Free online games..

In January 2004, some random Hackers manage to destroy the hosting platform. Several administrators decided to stop the platform and to quit TuxFamily. Some others with fresh recruits wanted to start a brand new hosting platform, starting from scratch and developing a complete new VHFFS panel. During a full year, the team worked hard and in january 2005, exactly one year after the fatal crash, TuxFamily was back online.

Depuis cette date, TuxFamily a continué de fonctionner, au gré d'arrivées et de départ dans l'équipe d'admins ou l'association, en s'efforçant d'offrir toujours le meilleur service possible à ses hébergés.
